Hi sorry I didn’t know who oe where to ask this but I see on another post that you had a Facebook session re the covid vaccine, I’m not on FB.

Just wondered what the general consensus/ advice is currently for us. I had my last cycle of chemo on the 15th Jan ( this finished 2 treatments early because of continued worsening side effects).

My BCN advised me today to let my immune system build up before having the vaccine and as I have to self isolate 10 days before surgery ( probably having surgery at the end of Feb), I am tending to think to wait until after surgery, any thoughts? Please redirect this if needed thanks in advance.
